Quality and Care of Substance Abuse and Psychiatric Treatment

Funding Period: July 2000 - June 2024
Portfolio Assignment: Career Development
BACKGROUND/RATIONALE:
In Fiscal Year 2014, over 57,000 Veterans receiving VHA inpatient medical-surgical services (excluding psychiatry and addiction treatment settings) had diagnosed alcohol use disorders (AUDs) in the medical record. This is likely an underrepresentation of the true prevalence of AUDs among Veteran medical-surgical inpatients, because these disorders often go undiagnosed during hospital stays. AUDs among VHA medical-surgical inpatients are of critical concern because AUDs and medical conditions exacerbate each other, and AUDs that co-occur with medical conditions increase the use of costly health services. Medical-surgical settings are well-suited to addressing AUDs because they provide a safe and experienced context in which to engage Veterans in a discussion of their drinking and treatment options. Yet, there are no evidence-based strategies to improve outcomes in this patient population. We have identified an intervention, Drinking Options: Motivate, Shared Decisions, Telemonitor (DO-MoST), as a potential solution to the critical need for evidence-based strategies to bridge the gap between inpatient medical-surgical care episodes and AUD treatment. This project builds on VHA mental health operations' call to adapt and expand health services research to a common and difficult-to-treat condition to which patient-centered approaches have not yet been applied.

OBJECTIVE(S):
The primary objective of this project is to evaluate DO-MoST as a new and innovative intervention to facilitate the transition from inpatient medical-surgical care to AUD help (behavioral and/or medication-based treatments; mutual-help groups), thereby improving Veterans' AUD and medical outcomes and decreasing VA health care costs. In addition, this project will include a qualitative process evaluation - that is, gather information from providers and patients on DO-MoST's adoptability - to inform VA's potential widespread implementation of DO-MoST with medical-surgical inpatients with AUDs. The study uses an effectiveness-implementation Hybrid Type 1 design, incorporating both a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and process evaluation to facilitate future implementation.

METHODS:
The study is developing a Decision Aid for Veteran medical-surgical inpatients with AUD that can be used systemwide. We are adapting a Decision Aid being implemented with AUD patients in non-VA, private, primary care settings to be applicable for Veterans with AUDs in VHA medical-surgical inpatient settings.
The project is also evaluating the effectiveness of DO-MoST to improve outcomes of medical-surgical inpatients with AUD. In an RCT, DO-MoST, which incorporates use of Motivational Interviewing, the Decision Aid, and Telemonitoring, is compared to Usual Care (UC) at two VHA facilities (Ann Arbor and Palo Alto). The primary hypotheses are that patients in the DO-MoST condition, compared to patients in UC, are more likely to (1) initiate AUD help and engage in AUD help for a longer duration, (2) have better AUD and medical outcomes, and (3) have fewer and more delayed (i.e., a longer duration of time until) acute care episodes (re-hospitalizations, Emergency Department visits).
The project is further informing future broader implementation of DO-MoST. It is conducting a qualitative process evaluation of DO-MoST at the intervention sites, using the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) framework. The purpose is to provide guidance for VA facilities' adoption of DO-MoST in the future, including the operations partner that would hold primary ownership, and possible adaptation for diverse subpopulations of Veterans.

FINDINGS/RESULTS:
Not yet available.

IMPACT:
VA Mental Health and Medical Services are committed to eradicating a dangerous and costly pattern: Veterans in inpatient medical/surgical care do not receive the SUD treatment they need. DO-MoST, a promising way to improve treatment access and outcomes by these patients, has not been utilized with the challenging population of medical-surgical inpatients with untreated alcohol use disorders before. This project is helping to accomplish VHA's and HSR&D's missions by increasing Veterans' access to, engagement in, and benefit from SUD treatment services, particularly among Veterans who are using VA medical services and need SUD services but are not receiving them.
